I had my former 92 SE rewired the whole time I owned it, which was about two years. It just clattered a little at startup. I think the 92+SE is the nicest looking Maxima (front grill, rear lights) for the 3rd gens. I would also check out prices on the 4th gen (95-99's), as the VQ is a superior engine without VTC / so called heat soak issues that the VE has. However, the overall quality is is said not to be as good. My sister and mom currently have 4th gens, and they've been great and haven't experienced any issues. As to the AC, don't get your hopes up. It's just a matter of luck. If it doesn't hold up, you can always find one at a junk yard. I guess the main thing to look at is whether it has been properly maintained and taken care of. If this checks out, you'll probably be fine. On paper, it looks like a good deal, though I'd try to get them a little lower on price. Good luck. Replys:
